[A] dim-witted, aesthetically clunky Tarantino clone.

It's one thing to make a film that's violent and profane; it's another to make one that's a moral black hole, and to do it because black looks cool. [Blu-ray]

More interested in finding fresh ways to stage execution scenes than in finding meaning behind the human urge for self-appointed righting of wrongs, pic is stuffed with effects that have no lasting impact.

Top CriticTrain wreck!

While I don't think the flick really has much of a brain in its head ... it sure isn't boring.

It taps into everyone's secret desire for vigilantism.

Definitely an exercise in style over substance.

It is, by turns, hilariously awful and just plain unhilariously awful, full of its own nonexistent momentousness, an unintentional parody of hardboiled gangster flicks.

Visualmente interessante, o filme se corrompe ao fazer apologia da “justiça com as próprias mãos”. Ainda assim, a atuação de Dafoe merece ser conferida.

It does the job, but doesn't do a very good job of it.

Stylish and fun in a cheeseball sort of way.
05/29/03
A ridiculous, self-important amalgamation of rehashed macho posturing and slow-motion bloodletting. Do yourself a favor: do not attend a convocation with these Saints.
08/26/02
Duffy has made a film that sort of straddles the fine line between great movie and useless piece of garbage.

The Boondock Saints, sorry to say, wasn't worth the trouble.
